UPDATE: Silver Spoon on Flatbush - CLOSED!

Will Ricky Schroeder be there?

once i had an omlet at the silver spoon. i forget what i had in it - maybe sausage and cheese. it cost over $8, so i vowed never to order an omlet there again.

as apollonia666 can attest to, we'll be the ones eating there every weekend, soaking up the basic breakfast food whilst inhaling the beautiful scents of flatbush avenue. There seems to be a steady flow of people, so I'm guessing that the food istn't that bad;)

There was a sign on the Bergen St. side that said the owners were retiring so they could "spend more time with their families" and it would be open under new ownership at some point, but they didn't say when. I noticed yesterday that sign had fallen down, but that seems to be the deal. Personally I think the food there is inedible. I always want it to be great, especially when I am hung over and need some grease, but it has consistently disappointed me.

That's too bad. It was the first place I ever ate in Brooklyn-- 2 years before I moved here-- and always served as some kind of cosmic justification that I am in the right place.

I liked the breakfasts there. Had many a "last night was fun, but..." conversation in the table in the corner by the windows.

Also the only diner in the 'hood where I didn't have to explain what a black and white milkshake is.

I was never a big fan of the food there, but the grits were good. Pricey for a brooklyn diner...the prices were like those at 3 guys on Madison Ave on the UES. I hope that the "new" Silver Spoon isn't the same food.

ugh.
